Honored ContributorHello,
is it possible to share the flash and the sdram on my Cycon II board with more then one Nios2 cpu. Where one of this cpus run uClinux?? What changes must i do to tell uClinux not to use the hole Flash and Ram? Now i have a solution with two Nios2 cores. The first use all Memory on the board and the second use the internal memory of then cyclon. But now the second need more memory. Regards Mike
Honored ContributorMike,
If you place the reset address, of the second processor, at an offset in Flash, it won't be able to access any of the flash below that offset....provided both processors are in the same SOPC Builder system. You'd also have to use a Mutex (or several mutexes) for shared resources. I believe there's a multi-processor tutorial dealing with this. - slackerHonored ContributorDoes anybody know where I can find the multi-processor tutorial?
Thanks, DerekHonored Contributornios2 multiprocessor tutorial (http://www.altera.com/literature/tt/tt_nios2_multiprocessor_tutorial.pdf)

Thanks.Honored ContributorHere for DE2 multiprocessor example:
http://www.altera.com.cn/support/examples/nios2/exm-multi-nios2-hardware.html I tested this example, but when I tried to erase the flash I got this error: "nios2-flash-programmer --base=0x0 --instance=1 --erase-all Using cable "USB-Blaster [USB-0]", device 1, instance 0x01 Resetting and pausing target processor: FAILED Leaving target processor paussed" Any ideea ?
